'Phenomenal' Rabada fires South Africa to victory

PERTH, Nov 7 (REUTERS) South Africa skipper Faf du Plessis described Kagiso Rabada's performance as "phenomenal" after the young paceman helped turn a parlous situation on day two of the first test against Australia into a thumping 177-run victory today.
The tourists had done well to get to 242 all out after being 5-81 on day one but were looking down the barrel of a heavy defeat when Australia raced to 158 without loss on day two.
